The Pentagon is in early talks with Australia’s government about a deal that would lead to that nation processing a significant portion of rare earth materials required by the U.S. Department of Defense, 

The department’s strategy is focused on: ‘I don’t need to worry about the automotive industry, I just need to make sure my defense supply chain is secure.’ And for a relatively small investment, they can get that capacity up and running,” Green said.

China represents a significant and growing risk to the supply of materials and technologies deemed strategic and critical to U.S. national security; a challenge shared by key allies such as Germany and Australia,” the report read, singling out rare earth metals and critical energetic materials for munitions and missiles as areas of concern.

As a result, the Trump administration issued five presidential determinations that DoD funds should go toward developing a new rare earths capability.

Part in red may help Sintx. The rest people should be aware of. I'll leave you with 1 question. Given that China has always been a possible supply chain issue for defense why is this really an issue now and not years ago?
